    Nice lens3.0/5

    Nice lens A nice lens however I wish they would have made to directly attach to the camera as other lenses and have automatic focus. Other than that it is doing a great job. I have taken pictures of the moon with it and they came out nice crisp and sharp. I have included a picture of it

    Good, not great, but cheap.3.0/5

    Good, not great, but cheap. I mean what do you expect of a $75 lens. I just wanted to try telephoto lenses to see if it was for me, I think that it was a good practice lens but don't expect anything spectacular. Worth the price? Yeah, i guess because it's so cheap. If you just want to get the feeling of a 500mm without spending basically nothing in the camera world then yeah buy.

    Get what you pay for!2.0/5

    Get what you pay for! I'll make it short, my 300mm shoots better image quality than this thing at long distances. Impossible to get a quality shot with this lense, but not bad for the price. Spend the money and get a quality lense!
